Amazon Kindle: A review
I Recently purchased the Amazon Kindle™ which in my opinion is the greatest electronic reading device on the market today. Of course it has a bus load of competitors but I’ve also purchased one other device known as the Libre and this system is disastrous at best. The system cannot be read in direct sunlight and the books power dies down quicker than you can plug it in.
Any way’s, the Amazon kindle is a mountain worth of good with little bad (if any). I myself have purchased many E-books directly on the kindle, from the Lord of the rings trilogy to the art of war by Sun Tzu. Any book that is currently in print can be bought onto your kindle quick, easy and if I may say over ½ the price of paying for the print version. One of the key features of the Kindle is it’s access to Wi-Fi. The access to Wi-Fi was unseen before such a device and although it was experimental at first it is highly successful. I connect to facebook whenever I’m done reading whatever it is I’m reading that day, it’s just amazing. Another neat feature to add to the Wi-Fi capabilities is that you can purchase and browse any type of literature on the kindle and every piece is ready for a quick and easy purchase.
At first I didn’t know how to purchase the books considering I wasn’t alto web savvy at the time and I accidentally tried sample and discovered you can actually sample and read parts of a book to purchase it. Kind of like renting a video game or movie to see if it’s actually worth buying.
-holds 3,500 books
-one month of reading without charging
-no glare in direct sunlight
-Wi-Fi internet accessible
-new ink display
-text to speech technology which means you can have your literature read to you!
-8.7 ounces
-6 inch reading area
-able to search any word in the dictionary and also highlight text
-over 810,000 titles and counting to choose from!
Of all those features and pro’s it makes a perfect choice for any avid reader! To be honest I can’t think of any con’s to the kindle thus far but if I ever do find one I will most definitely be posting it here for all to know about! There is also the kindle 3G which is just a more internet accessible kindle and also the kindle DX which is a little bit larger version to optimize reading quality. The price is set at 139.00 USD for the Amazon Kindle and for that I must say, it’s worth the price. If you have any comments, questions, suggestions or concerns don’t hesitate to respond immediately.
The link I've provided will go directly to the Amazon Kindle and this page is also where i derived the pro list from so check it out!

I'm so worried that books will die out. There's nothing like a new book, smells gorgeous and looks fab on the bookshelf. I suppose the Kindle would be good for taking on holiday, so you don't have to load your suitcase up with books.
